URGENT: find smallest difference (either PHP, Java or Python)

Hi Experts,
Could you please help me to resolve following problem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The file football.txt contains the results from the English Premier League for 2001/2. The columns labeled ‘F’ and ‘A’ contain the total number of goals scored for and against each team in that season (so Arsenal scored 79 goals against opponents, and had 36 goals scored against them). Need a java program to print the name of the team with the smallest difference in ‘for’ and ‘against’ goals.

My main objective of this question is to identify the activities we will be able to write the code and demonstrate some of the practices and techniques that we would use in best practices under industry. I'm mainly be looking for the thought process and how we can complete this task. But points goes to the first/best post.

Thanks a lot Experts.

Maybe you are not using the test data set that was posted here? Please see line 44 for the URL of the file I relied on when writing the code.
